MARK TWAIN ON FARMING.

Here, remarked the famous hu'
morist, Mark Twain, in a recent
address, is a composition ] wrote
on farming when boy. Farming
is healthy work but no man can
run farm and wear his best
clothes at the same time. Either
the farming must cease while the
new clothes continue, or the new
clothes cease while the farming
continues. This shows that farm.
ing is not so clean work as being a
Congressman or school master, for
these men can wear good clothes
# they can find money to pay for
them. Farmers get up early in the
morning. They say the early bird
catches the worm. If was bird,
| had rather get up late and eat
cherries in place of worms. Farm
ers don't paint their wagons
when they can't help it, for they
show mud too quick. The color
of their boots is red, and don't look
like other peoples boots, because
they are twice as big. Farmers
wives have a hard time cooking
for the hired men, and the hired
men find fault with the farmers
| wives cooking. Why don't farmers
wives let the hired men do the cook
ing while they do the finding fault.
Farmers don't get as rich as bank
presidents but they get more exer-
else. Some ask, 'Why don't farm
ers run for Congress? They rur
50 much keeping boys out Of theii
peach orchards and melon patches
they don't have time to run after
| anything else. If Congress should
run after farmers one might be
caught now and then. Lawyers
can beat farmers at running for
most anything. / know a farmer
who tried to run aline fence accord
ing to his notion. The other man
objected, and hurt the farmer
The farmer hired a lawyer to run
his line fence, and now the lawyer
runs the farmers farm, and the
farmer has stopped running any
thing. SpeakingOf running reminds
me of our calf that run away to the
woods. There were not enough
men in the country to catch that
calf. We turned the old COW loose
INTO the woods, and she caught the
calf, proving the old saying, that
it takes a COW to catch a thief.

When hogs have the run OF a
field, 1t IS rarely the case that they
will get so feverish as to be foun'
dered all over, but they will often
get quite stiff. The corn should
be mixed with bran or oats, and
only half of the bulk of the food
should be of the corn or carbon
aceous sort. Such fevered pork is
not the thing to eat. When hogs
are fed all the corn meal they will
eat, one.third of it is wasted.

utation, and now he was in prison
accused of murder! He thought OF
the grlet and shame II would cause
to his friends. Then he broke down
and cried like a child.
After that he remembered moth
ing.
When the jaller came with his
breakfast he found him staring at
the blank wall of his cell. He spoke
to him, but the prisoner did not
move. Loften was mad.
He was committed to an insane
asylum, but the Judge made stip-
ulation that if he should ever re-
cover his reason he should be tried
for murder.
For seven years Charles Lotten
was in the asylum. He ate and
slept and was taken out to walk by
a nurse with some of the other pa
tients, but he never spoke and he
never appeared to notice anyone or
anything.
At the end of seven years his
reason suddenly returned. Every
thing was clear up to the night OF
his Imprisonment, but of the time
he had spent in the asylum he re-
membered nothing.
The court was notified that he
had recovered his reason, and a
time was set for his trial.
On the night before Charles Lof-
tens trial robbery was attempted
IN a neighbOring town.
Between one and two in the morn
ing the owner of a handsome place
on the outskirts of the town was
awakened and thought he heard
some one moving in the house. lie
got up and went to his door and
found that some one was moving
about in the library.
The house was lighted by cleo
trcity, and by pressing a button at
the head of the stairs TIE light could
be turned on all over the first floor
This he did, and in an instant
every room was lighted.
Two men who had been cropping
about in the darkness we're at first
blinded and stupefed by the bright
light coming so suddenly, then they
came to their senses and ran, and
as the proprietor hurried down
stairs he saw them running through
the house aud escaping by a side
door.
As the men crossed the yard the
night watchman saw them and fired
his pistol. The foremost man fell,
but the other made good his escape
On the first day of Loften's trial
c Jury had been selected, few wit
nesses had been called and the court
had adjourned.
On the second day of the trial,
Just as the third witness was about
to take the stand, a note was hand
ed to the Judge.
1t stated that, on examining the
wounds of the burglar who had
been shot in the neighboring town
two nights before, it had been found
that he could not live, and on learn
ing this the man had made a con-
fession.
He said that seven or eight years
before he and one of his compan
ions had murdered a man in Dead
Mans Canon and robbed him Of
some valuable papers which he hac
in his possession. He knew that
an innocent man had been arrest
ed, but thought he would be &C
quilted. He had afterwards learn
ed that the man, whose name was
Charles Loften, had become insane
and had been placed in an asylum
The man who listened 10 the
story, knowing that Loften was
now on trial for this crime, had sent
for a justice and had the man make
an affidavit, which he sent at once
TO the court.
When the judge had read the
note the affidavit was sworn to, and
Charles Loften, alter seven years
Imprisonment for a crime he had
never committed, was once more al
liberty.
